They have performed from New York City’s Union Square to the California coast

6 On The Square (6 Lafayette Park in Oxford) will host a performance from high-energy Americana act Roosevelt Dime at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

With a name appropriated from a coin minted in 1946, the East Coast band uses historical reference points to underscore its blend of blues, bluegrass, and New Orleans juke-joint rhythm and blues.

Roosevelt Dime includes Eben Pariser on electric guitar, harmonica and lead vocals; Andrew Green on five-string banjo and backup vocals; Tony Montalbano on drums and backup vocals; and upright bassist Craig Akin. They have performed from New York City’s Union Square to the California coast at festivals, listening rooms, clubs, whiskey bars and church basements.

Green and Pariser met at Oberlin College in Ohio, where they balanced academics at their musical conservatories with playing in folk and blues bands. Relocating to Brooklyn and adding Montalbano and Akin to the mix, the foursome busked in the streets, parks and subways with a mix of jug-band irreverence and Dixieland exuberance.

Roosevelt Dime previously performed in Oxford for 6OTS’s free concert in Lafayette Park in 2012.

Tickets for Saturday’s show are $18 in advance or $20 at the door; purchase at 6onthesquare.org.

Upcoming shows include the Belle Hollows on Saturday, June 2; My Sweet Patootie on Saturday, June 16; and a free concert in Lafayette Park with The Twangtown Paramours on Sunday, July 1.
